You're right about that, but when has a character come into a series who is stupider and less experienced than the main character and defeats them? That's bad writing

Dumber, maybe. But let's not act as if Ash hasn't be losing to a bunch of people less experience then him for some time. Besides, nothing says for sure that Ash will lose.

For perspective, what was the ratings for the other league beginnings?

In the instant it vanishes, it shines faintly,
Now, it creates a night with a full moon.

I feel like im the only one really excited for this episode ><
i mean ya the league was really short and ash only had 1 1v1 and 1 3v3 and probably only 1 6v6 but what do u expect from a series that was rushed as much as best wishes was

Although it's not related to the League... the lowest rated episode comes from Best Wishes, which was Tepig's evolution with 2.2

I seriously just fell off my chair. Wow. So many people were claiming that BW had the best ratings of all time. Well that's obviously not the case if the lowest rated episode ever came from BW; I imagine that some of the other BW episode were rated similarly as well, especially the fillers. Also, this proves that evolution doesn't yield popularity. So many people constantly attacked me when I tried to point this out, but the receipts are finally here. This all goes back to what I said about Oshawott's evolution; it ain't gonna happen since Oshawott would lose popularity, and sales of his merchandise would plummet. Again, the receipts don't lie.

But enough gloating on my part. I just want to know if we have any new information on this episode, particularly if we know which of Ash's Pokemon defeated Hydreigon. Wasn't he Kotetsu's secret weapon and all but he wasn't trained properly? You'd think Kotetsu would have lost by default given Hydreigon's wild nature. Where's the referee?

This is where I found the ratings (it's all in Japanese though) I didn't happen to look up evolution episodes, just that Tepig evolving brought the lowest amount to the show

2.2 for Tepig's Evolution Episode? That really is low. Was everyone on vacation that day or what?

Monferno's Evolution into Infernape was 6.8.

Aipom's Evolution Episode was 8.1, which was given the same ratings for the Solaceon Contest, which aired alongside it, so idk how accurate that one is.

But I noticed its been dropping significantly each series. Kanto was in the 2-digit area bar one episode, The OI Saga was the same, Johto had a bit more episodes lower than 10 million, AG had some 2 digit ratings, Battle Frontier was not any higher than million, DP was around the 7 million. BW has only 4 occasions where it had higher than normal ratings, being the first 2 episodes, & then Snivy's capture, BW009, BW010, Dwebble's capture episode. Even Japan is slowly losing interest.
